Bleaching in the Sun

Blunt force trauma to the back of the skull
Victim slumped on his side, left bleeding
Massive wounds to the face and neck
Shattered teeth and bone fragments scattered

Heart slows down, slowly coming to a halt
Blood pools in the body cavity, discoloured with lividity
Muscle tissues harden, rigormortis sets them rigid
Body cold as it starts to decay. Blood congealing in the corpse
Turning black. Seeping plasma from its wounds

Cellular integrity breaking down. Enzymes eating at the tissues, liquefying
Blistering autolysis. Lactic acid builds from anaerobic organisms

Starting putrefaction. Stench of overwhelming horror

Abdomen distends. Rupturing the skin
Fluids leaking out from every orifice
Insects eating their way in
As the maggots feast inside the bloated body
Skin succumbs to slippage
Putrid effluence of liquefied intestines bursting out from splitting skin, to the floor

As the feeding frenzy quickens, pools of viscous liquid gather from decomposition
The maggots have their feed, now they leave to pupate, the cadaver drained and hollow

Resting place determined. A feeding ground for vermin

Decomposing flesh. Chaos as the insects hatch and devour the body
Blowfly larvae squirm in the corpse and devour rotting organs while excreting toxic fumes
Scratch for a place in the body harvest
Reduced to nothing with voracious feeding
A writhing mass of oozing gore. Flies
Breeding in the mess. Hatching in their thousands now as they swarm the body
Chewing through the fat, flesh and blood
The carnage only ends when the corpse is a hollow shell
Eyes cold and dead, nothing but a feeding ground for its carrion clientele
Reduced to nought but a blackened mess
The remaining mass will be broken down to decay

Now the skeleton remains, bones left bleaching in the sun
Ripped apart by rats and scattered
No sign of life remains in the place where one was slain
Bleaching in the sun
